From 1913 series of Wills's cigarette cards (No 83) Text on reverse of card: MRS. ALFRED TATE. (Hybrid Tea.) A charming decorative rose with free and branching habit, producing enormous quantities of perfectly formed blooms on long erect stems. It is sweetly scented, and will thrive in almost any situation, but must be sparingly pruned. Introduced in 1909, it is undoubtedly one of the most popular bedding roses of today.
